Say the name Barry White and you’d be hard pressed to name any other recording artist with such a huge, cross-sectional following. He was at home appearing on Soul Train, guesting with a full band on The Today Show, and appearing in cartoon form in various episodes of “The Simpsons”. During the ’70s, Dinah Shore devoted a full hour of her daily syndicated Dinah! show to “The Maestro”, as White was often referred to. While there was a period when he wasn’t releasing records or making the pop charts, White stayed active touring and appearing on other artists’ records including Quincy Jones’ The Secret Garden (The Seduction Suite), Regina Belle, and rap star Big Daddy Kane’s “All of Me”. It’s surprising to find out that such an illustrious career almost didn’t happen because White wasn’t interested in being a recording artist.
White grew up in his hometown in Galveston, Texas, singing gospel songs with his mother and taught himself to play the piano. Shortly after moving from Texas to South Central Los Angeles, White made his recording debut at the tender age of 11, playing piano on Jesse Belvin’s “Goodnight My Love”. He made his first record when he was 16 with a group called the Upfronts. The song was called “Little Girl” on a local L.A. label called Lummtone Records.
